María Amparo Ruiz de Burton, was a 19th C novelist of Mexican descent, and the first known Hispanic novelist to write in English. Her resolve took her into the circles of governmental and financial power where very few women had tread before. #WomensHistoryMonth #Latina

"...The good and proper, I fear, would perish of sheer inanity-of hypochondriac lassitude-or, to say the least, would grow very dull for want of convenient whetstones to sharpen their wits. Rogues are useful."-Rev. Mr. Hackwell, "Who Would've Thought It?"

"...the Americans, with God's help, will have all the land that was so righteously acquired through a just war and most liberal payment in money. Ain't that patriotism and Christian faith for you?" - Mr. Hackwell - "Who Would've Thought It?"

There are a few bits I found issue with but overall it was an interesting read. This piece really hit the nail though so I thought I’d share it. A system built to bring justice isn’t just when it favors those who create it.

That quote is from my book "The Squatter and the Don" written in 1885. We have a lot of lessons to remember.

[Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton @MariaAmparoRui3]

“Let us cry for the spilt milk, by all means, if by doing so we learn how to avoid spilling any more. Let us cry for the spilt milk, and remember how, and where, and why, we spilt it. Much wisdom is learnt through tears, but none by forgetting our lessons.”
